It is my honor and privilege to acknowledge the contributions
and achievements of our President and Show Chairman, Colonel Robert Eddy.

Bob has been a member of the Crescent City Coin Club since
1962 and was elected President for the first time in 1964. I say the “first
time” because Bob has been elected President every year that ends in 4 beginning
with 1964. That’s right, he served as President in 1964, 1974, 1984, 1994, and
2004. For that matter, he also served as President in 1985, 1986, and has been
re-elected as President for 2005.

In addition to the many times he has served as President, Bob
has held other offices and has been a driving force on the Board of Governors.

But we will always think of Bob first and foremost as our Show
Chairman. He does the planning, contacts the dealers, negotiates the
contracts, sees to security, collects the fees, stores the equipment, delivers
the equipment, oversees and participates in the show set-up, supervises the
show, oversees and participates in the show take-down, packs-up the equipment,
unloads the equipment back into storage… and does so leaving men half his age
out of breath and aching for days to follow.

Bob has earned the respect and gratitude of every member and
friend of the Crescent City Coin Club. I speak for all of us when I say “thank
you, Bob” and please accept this Lifetime Achievement Award.
